   Evening gents!,
   (and perhaps un-known cohost(s) if it applys)…
   Been a bit,so I’m shaking off the dust and debris of life,work and some stressful times at home to get back into the feedback chair…
   …Mmm, commfy..like I remember it being…
   So for the studio cell 1 fig…
   Have to say this has had my eye on it for some time…but i feel a bit of clarity is in order:
   The “trumpets and parts” on the shoulders are the tractor beam the “not headless Unicron” uses in when he approaches a planet,it attaches in the front to be the open maw, seeings how they cant replicate it both open and close as well as they like it to due to physical limitations,and both those parts double as the stand when not in use..but I doubt it come with a pair of each..
   I do to a point understand the pic choices used in advertising this but untill I see more pics of it COMPLETELY and perhaps more video/ pic reviews over it (not counting the one it was first shown some time ago),then I’ll decide if to “pull the trigger”on it..
   So to a related topic of/in my heart as well
   I do however feel the need to say this,the haslab unicron had me VERY torn for quite a while last year..but I don’t feel it’s up to the “product level price” to demand the price tag it was asking for,its INCREDIBLE!!,dont get me wrong Takashi Kunihiro did a FANTASTIC job on it for what he had to work with/had to do,DON’T get me wrong…but..
   Sigh,
   sometimes “you have to go with your gut feeling”…even if you still think about the choice you’ve made.
   I felt with all the highlights and mostly some good features I had many reservations about it:
   (Most importantly,Thanks bobby skull face AND P.Wayne N.for playing my therapists over all of this in the first place!!)
   1.The price,this is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE to have any buyers remorse over it
   2.the planet shell parts,I had a VERY hard time accepting that they could not been better stored in a better fashion /way on the robot mode…”the other” comes WAY closer/does way better to thatand I feel all the “selling features/extras” were not all that and a cube of energon
   3.its CLOSE but not 100% movie accurate in both modes,of course the planet mode is the closest but the ring is pretty off…a nice diffrent but still off, so I dint see “we pulled him right off the movie screen”?
   4. What are they going to do with all the additional funds they received when they went over the # limit it on/buy?
   Should that had made it cheaper? Your show has even speculated about it,but yet we do not know..but they dint even want us ri know the final limit # of units or how much they made…why so secretive?
   5.the way to buy it,at first only US and Canada,NO ONLINE retailers..
   What?!,were not making the numbers?!ok we’ll relent to make it “available” to our “online affiliates”,in which I’m glad they did for people overseas…but I feel they caved in..
   But that “backer # amount” will ALWAYS plague me till my dying day
   6. “The other”..and I’ll say this first about it I’ll NEVER belive that it affected haslab unicron backers numbers at all!! it went up and down for a bit (and I took screen caps near every day to keep track when I first heard about this in july) but I have to say if it were not seeing the Zeta toys/now studio cell 1? and what it can do/does,i may had plunged into buying the haslab unicron if not for it being shown..to me it does what IT SHOULD,be closer to the character 8 vs 6 pack,yellow vs orange,E.T.C.,it transforms better/hides the planet mode kibble far better,looks closer to the ’86 movie but the planet mode is a little off,but in transformers it’s normal for a mode to suffer some for another mode,and its smaller (ill get to that in #7),and its priced more affordable but over all I feel
   7.my last (but not my) least favorite,THE HEIGHT ISSUE,..
   Yes on my soapbox I’m willing perhaps die for in this matter..
   SCALE!
   (Like you did not see this comming?!!)

   I dont think its that “BIG” if an issue if Hasbro does not go along with scale in the first place (why the height comparison to TR fort max then?!!),and yes I know they don’t go with it hardly/nearly non existent at all in the first place but the evidence is clearly there “it’s the tallest/biggest TF EVER made”..to date.

   Why use that IF scale is not a thing within your product line in the first place,but yet you still use it to sell it??
   I might feel differently if I saw it in person…
   Insert eric/bove here:
   Yes “Charles”,we EXPECT a video review from you.
   I don’t know..after all of the time and frustration on thinking on how to buy/afford it,wondering about would I be happy with it if I did get it and would it be a VERY costly mistake..the “other” being shown (recently in a color test shot 85% complete)…October 6th I layed on the couch,thought it over one last time…
   …And did not back it..
   Time will tell if i did the right thing.
   I know most likely this will not be completely read over the show (but if it does, I would like to request yoshi to read it…If he’s on the show..
   …With Charles voice in my head:
   PRIMUS DAMM IT YOSHI!!!!
   I know I tend to be short winded..
   ….
   But if I did not feel the way I do about you all and the show,i would not take the time (maybe not as often as Ive should had) to had shown to you all in this way.

   Take care and “’till all are one”
